Comments on: Changing the Default Browser in Apple OS X http://ukmac.net/2006/10/13/testing-post/ Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:22:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: SteveP http://ukmac.net/2006/10/13/testing-post/comment-page-1/#comment-4 SteveP Fri, 20 Oct 2006 11:33:14 +0000 http://ukmac.net/2006/10/13/testing-post/#comment-4 One thing I've learned is that having a browser set to default that you don't use is actually a good idea. On my PC, for example, I have IE set as default, but have blocked it from accessing the Internet. The reason is simple: Pop-ups, maleware and scripts often try to open a new default browser window without your knowledge. As this is blocked, the risk of harm through malicious code is reduced. Might be a good idea in OSX, too, if you don't like Safari :) One thing I've learned is that having a browser set to default that you don't use is actually a good idea.
